Battlefields of Liberty: Revolutionary War Sites in New York

Battlefields of Liberty, presented at the 250th anniversary of the United States’ Declaration of Independence, features sites across New York and highlights the complexities of battle and strategies of a war between a fledgling nation-to-be and a mighty world power.

As the cornerstone of these commemorations, the state has unveiled a new exhibit, “Battlefields of Liberty: Revolutionary War Sites in New York,” now on display at the State Street Tunnel entrance to the State Capitol. To ground the upcoming celebrations in New York's rich heritage, the exhibit showcases the state's pivotal role in the American Revolutionary War. Featuring historic paintings, images, and maps, it explores significant local moments — from the Battle of Golden Hill in New York City to the Capture of Fort Ticonderoga in the North Country.
